The group Stray Kids has ranked among the global top 10 tours for 2025 with their world tour this year.
According to the year-end chart released by Billboard in the United States on the 9th (local time), Stray Kids placed 10th on the 'Top Tours 2025' chart (covering the period from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025) with their 'Dominate' tour. This is the highest ranking for any K-pop artist.
This tour consisted of a total of 31 performances worldwide, including five cities in Latin America, 10 cities in North America, six cities in Europe, and Hong Kong, selling approximately 1.3 million tickets. The chart also featured artists such as Coldplay, Beyonc?, Kendrick Lamar & SZA, The Weeknd, and Shakira.
Through this tour, Stray Kids set several firsts and bests for K-pop artists. Of the 31 performances counted on Billboard's 'Top Tours 2025', 29 were held at major stadiums representing their respective regions in 21 locations across Latin America, North America, and Europe. Among these, 11 stadiums hosted a K-pop artist for the first time. In particular, at the Stade de France in Paris, France, Stray Kids set records for both the largest scale and the highest audience attendance ever for a K-pop act.
Previously, in October last year, Stray Kids also ranked second-the highest among K-pop artists-on the 'Global Concert Tour Top 20' announced by Pollstar, a U.S. publication specializing in concerts. Based on average ticket sales revenue by region, they placed just behind Beyonc?.
